'A Little Something' Gift Tag - Magnolia-licious November Blog Hop

Hello.

It's blog hop time at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog! This is our last one of the year--taking a break in December. The two Magnolia-licous teams are joining forces for this blog hop...woo-hoo!

If you're already doing the blog hop and came here from Eulanda's blog, then you're on the right track. But if not, you may want to start at the beginning. There's a challenge blog hop as well as a special contest about counting candy canes. Find out more details about the blog hop and the contest, how you can enter either or both and the prizes, at the Magnolia-licious Highlites, HERE.

The theme for the blog hop challenge is 'Interactive Holiday Tags'. What I've created is this gift tag!

The interactive part is the paper circle/wheel on which I've written the message 'A little something Just for You * Happy Christmas'. Portions of the message appear within the window opening as you spin the wheel--so I guess you'd call this a spinner gift tag?

Check out the rest of the collection and Magnolia's latest Nativity Collection 2012--they're oh so cute!You will see the sample images that have been coloured by the DT gals--rather than just the black stamped images with a watermark on top of it. Click HERE and HERE.
Other stamps, both full-size and mini, are also available from Magnolia-licious. If you don't see the stamp that you want there, just ask Diana and maybe she can bring it in for you.
Not to be missed are the variety of cutting dies from Magnolia, Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Marianne Design and Cheery Lynn Designs. Diana gives excellent service, discounted prices and you also earn in-store credit for every order.

I've coloured the Tilda image with markers--my collection of Letraset Promarker and Pantone Tria markers. The shape of the tag is from a Spellbinders Label Twenty-Eight die. The trees were created using Dee's Distintively Christmas Stacker Tree dies. Don't know if you can tell or not, but I've covered the trees and the snowflakes with micro-fine glitter.

I love those trees! Your shadowing is so pretty. Your tag is just darling and I love the style you created. The sentiment wheel is one of my favorites. Tilda is just too cute running through the trees, I love this tag Norma!Hugs

Hi Norma, you always come up with the best ideas! I just love your tag! The trees in the background are wonderful! Oh, this would look so pretty on a Christmas tree! Thank you for the inspiration!Hugs,Suzan

Love it, Norma! You are such an enabler! You find the best tools to create your gorgeous works of art! Needless to say, you help me spend $$ on new "toys!" Love the highlights on Tilda. You always color so beautifully!

This is gorgeous Norma. I love the stacked trees you used in your scenery. So whimsical. I smell a purchase in my future. How did you create the circle window and get your sentiment to curve like that? What a fabulous idea for a tag. I would love to make this! As always you inspire me. ;) hugs, Angela

OMGoodness, Norma. I just love coming to your craft room, I get so much inspiration. Of course you've probably read that from me before. Anyhoo...I love your tag! What a great way to make the message interactive. This is so fabulous and Tilda looks gorgeous among the festive papers, trees and snowflakes.Happy Holidays!Hugz,Cathy Lee
